Looks like VSA is packaged only when you get the NAVI option. What happened to "Safety for Everyone"?

I do feel that the new Fit should have exceeded these numbers especially considering that the bigger, more powerful Civic is rated at 36
mpg highway (although gets a lower 25 city). Plus, extra progress should be happening with fuel prices getting out of hand.
It seems automakers have hit a wall for fuel efficiency gains (excluding hybrids). Look at each of the last several generations of Civic, Corolla, Accord, Camry ect...they all have comparable mileage. Perhaps because they keep getting bigger, but still...

So VSA is needed to make a car safe? The Fit is a damn safe car even without VSA. That said, I'm getting the navi anyway, so I guess I'll take VSA (I'll probably turn it off half the time though, it just depends).
#1126
look at the sizes.. park a 90s Accord next to the new one..
These cars are obviously made for US market too... why do we need cars
this big anyways?? Are bigger cars always means better cars?
#1127
the current fit does great as far as city mileage goes, so i'd rather see a bump in highway mileage. if the rating is 28/35, that puts it at 3mpg better in the city and only one mpg worse on the highway than the civic.
all this while getting more hp is commendable.

That's the same as the 07/08 MT Fit which sounds accurate because a representitive for the new Fit said the mileage would remain about the same even with the increased HP.

Cheap, clean efficient transportation is what they should be bring here.

From the 2008 Vancouver Auto Show Link the a-pillar windows look huge and the front doesn't look very long, personally I like it!

Great to see a blue one! I really don't like the red one they used as the introduction model. I wan't to see a USDM Storm silver metallic!!

Stability control is a proven technology that saves lives. They should have at least packaged it with all Sport models; it shouldn't be tethered to an option like NAVI.
#1137
I agree. You should not have be forced to get a NAV system just because you want VSA. Either make it standard or at least a stand alone option but not in a bundle like NAV.

All of those packages are awesome in their own way! I love the versatility of the car. Just wish we had those choices here.
But most of the car buyers in NA simply don't view the Fit as that viable of a vehicle. It's just an "economy-minded tiny import hatch with decent gas mileage, now where can I get my Escalade with 22s?" kinda of mentality here.

I like the looks of the 2009 and am trying to decide between it, the new xB, and an Element SC. All quite different but neat in their own way.
Unfortunately, we won't get these packages in the U.S.

JD Powers:
The current Fit’s 109-hp, 1.5-liter engine is rated at 28 mpg city/34 mpg highway in the U.S. Expect the new Fit to meet or exceed those numbers.
